1) Yes! Especially this year!! I don‘t like to talk about politics on Litsy... Why? My freedom and constitutional rights are important to me 🇺🇸

2) I‘m thankful that I‘m off for 7 days after today, all of my friends here, and the health of my family ❤️

Feeling a little eerie about having finally plucked this off my pile of books today of all days, when the prologue opens twenty years ago yesterday with the deaths of JFK Jr. and Carolyn and Lauren Bessette. #whatremains #caroleradziwill

I wasn‘t prepared, even though I was warned....this memoir is a true life tragedy.
It should have been a fairytale but neither of theses couples got their happily ever after.
The first half of this book was a little flat but midway through I was hoarding Kleenex and ignoring everyone around me. Carol Radziwill has earned a special spot on my women I admire list.

Woohoo 🎉A new month means 5 new Hoopla requests- here‘s request #1
I really admire Carole Radziwill ~ she‘s feisty and real 🙌🏻It took a bit to get used to her voice but now about halfway through I feel like Carole & I are coffee buds. She‘s really unloading 💔

AlaMich Am I the only one scheming to use my spouse‘s library card to get a second Hoopla account=more borrows? No? Just me then...😉 6y
Coleen I‘m allowed 20/month on my Hoopla. Don‘t hate me! (edited) 6y
Cinfhen What??? @Coleen that‘s 4 x more than me 😫😫no hate, but super jelly 6y
See All 29 Comments
Cinfhen That‘s a VERY good idea @AlaMich I‘ll be working on that this summer ~ brilliant 6y
8little_paws We're allowed 10 6y
Suet624 You only are allowed 5? That‘s strange. 6y
AlaMich @Suet624 We only get 6. I think they lowered it, actually, but I‘m not sure. It‘s based on what your particular library agrees to pay for. (edited) 6y
ErikasMindfulShelf We‘re allowed 7 which is usually enough for me. I have been thinking in the same lines as @AlaMich We have 3 other library cards in the family. 😃 6y
Cinfhen I used to get 8 requests but starting Jan 2019 they lowered it to only 5 @irre @AlaMich @Suet624 @8little_paws 6y
eri.reads We used to get 8 and now down to 2 😑 6y
8little_paws @eri.reads two!? That's too few. 6y
eri.reads @8little_paws IKR! It broke my heart, but I've been rallying other book lovers from my local library to bombard them with emails, etc. about why it's not enough. I hope it works lol. 🤞 6y
8little_paws @eri.reads I get keeping costs down, but 2 makes it nearly pointless. Maybe split the difference with 4? 6y
Suet624 @AlaMich @Cinfhen The joke is on me. I just checked. I can only have 3 at a time and only 5 holds. 6y
Centique We don‘t have Hoopla but we have Libby. Is it similar? I can get ebooks through Libby, must try an audiobook and see what that‘s like through the Libby app - be nice to get one for free! 6y
AlaMich @Centique They are very similar. Libby is more directly linked to your library in that it‘s more of a delivery system for the ebooks your library already “owns.” Hoopla is a self-contained entity with its own collection of audiobooks, ebooks, movies and tv. The nice thing about Hoopla is that there are no limits on how many people can borrow a particular title st once, as there are with regular library ebooks. (edited) 6y
Centique @AlaMich thanks for explaining 😘 6y
Cinfhen I would absolutely try an audio @Centique it gives you the freedom to do other things while still feeling like you‘re spending time with a book. I find for me ONLY NF works, especially if it‘s read by the author. My favorite audios so far have been Born A Crime, Not My Father‘s Son Trauma Cleaner and 6y
Cinfhen That really sucks @eri.reads and 3 isn‘t much better @Suet624 😡 6y
Centique @Cinfhen I‘ve done a few on Audible like Born A Crime which was awesome. 😍Yeah I think I can do memoirs or maybe simpler fiction but I struggle with anything that needs me to concentrate. I get distracted too easily! I‘ve been listening to SPQR but I keep missing important bits and rewinding 😂😂 6y
TurtleLibrarian My best advice is if you want your library to have more Hoopla borrows per month get everyone you know to use it... a lot. Hoopla is amazing, but it is one of the most expensive eContent services out there too (mostly because of the simultaneous loans). Which is why so many libraries have Overdrive (they're the company, Libby is the name of their App) and not as many have Hoopla. (If you're in MA get a BPL eCard and you can get 10 loans). 6y
Cinfhen Thanks for all the info @TurtleLibrarian 💚I wonder if PA has an ebook library card... do you know @Librarybelle 6y
Librarybelle @Cinfhen Technically, PA does not have a statewide card. However, through the generosity of the Free Library of Philadelphia and various state grants/moneys, PA residents can apply for a Free Library card to use their eresources. My library system uses cloudLibrary, so we promote Free Library to our patrons who use Kindles (cloudLibrary can only support Kindle Fires, due to an Amazon/Overdrive agreement). @TurtleLibrarian that‘s cool about BPL! 6y
TurtleLibrarian It is awesome @librarybelle And, you're welcome @Cinfhen And the thing from Free Library of Philadelphia sounds a little like the BPL thing. 6y
Cinfhen I‘ll look into the Free Library card @Librarybelle thanks so much 💓#LibrariansRock #BetterThanGoogle 😘 @TurtleLibrarian 6y
Librarybelle Thanks, @Cinfhen ! 😘 6y
Crazeedi @Cinfhen I registered and got a free library of philly card. It's great source my little library doesnt have as many ebooks. also my daughter paid $50 and got a Brooklyn library card and she says tons of ebooks and audiobooks. Thinking of joining it, @Librarybelle I've visited a couple libraries in PA in other parts of state and got library cards. But they need renewed and now I dont know if they will renew for me over the phone 5y
Librarybelle @Crazeedi Some libraries will, and some libraries will not allow you to renew your card by phone. My library system does not, for example, due to security reasons. But, you can submit a request to renew your library card through our website. Not all libraries do that either. Free Library will allow you to renew online - I‘ve done that myself! 5y
Crazeedi @Librarybelle I have renewed with Free Library easily. I'm going to call the other two and see if they will over phone or online. Or I guess I lose access which makes me very sad. The one has the audiobooks by Camilleri that I wanted to listen to again🤨 5y

#TimbitTunes The tagged book has been lingering in my #BookOutlet cart for months. It‘s a book I want to read but don‘t want to read because I‘m sure it‘s going to be so heartbreaking. It was a #BlackDayInJuly when JFK Jr plane disappeared after a stormy night takeoff. Carole Radziwill was a close friend of the couple & they were related through marriage. It‘s her account of this tragedy coupled with the illness of her husband.

The author of the book had quiet a life, obviously! The career, the trips, the people; few of us experience a life like she did.
BUT she is not a writer. Not even a little bit. She jumps from one thing to another, introduces new characters as if everyone knows who they are (and maybe New York readers know but not here on the other side of the Atlantic), etc.
All in all feels like a diary, and why would one read a diary of someone they do not know?

If you're sick of seeing me post about this book, I apologize in advance - but NO book has ever #keptmycrying like this one. Ever! Not even close! Something about the impending doom that I knew was coming had me crying from the first page... And I didn't stop until the end 😂😭

Ps. You can imagine the hours I have lost going down the Carolyn Bessette/Google rabbit hole 😳

I was obsessed with CB! That said - I wasn‘t prepared for the emotions I felt while reading this book. 😭 7y

I loved this book. I picked it up for a $1.00 at the local thrift store and got lost in the author‘s world for a couple of days. Although a lot of people seem not to like Carole Radziwill, I found her honest, engaging, imperfect and real. It is very sad. Hard to believe anyone can survive so much loss, in such quick succession. Highly recommended.

I‘ve used this book for a prompt before but I love it so much here I go again! Radziwill‘s memoir about the untimely death of her best friends JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette ( #bigjetplane ) and then 3 weeks later, her husband Anthony (cancer) is so wrought with sorrow and grief but also immense love for the 3 friends she lost. The tragedy of knowing the ending that‘s coming kept the tears continuously flowing for me 😭

I read this book two years ago and I STILL think about it. A lot. Don't be afraid of the Real Housewives thing - if you've ever loved someone and lost someone, it'll resonate 💕

Ellen Agree, I picked it up at a used book and was so pleasantly surprised by the writing 8y
Cinfhen I like Carole, I mean I don't know her but she comes across as pretty sane 😊I'm interested in reading this although one housewife accused Carole of using a ghost writer, It was quite a fight! It was the blonde with the prosthetic leg... 8y
LauraBeth @Cinfhen oh I forgot about that ? I think there's just enough of this that ventures out of the shallow end of the pool to make me believe she wrote it herself - but I guess we'll never know. She does seem to be a writer at her core from what I can tell. I think since those shows can be scripted to follow a storyline - it wouldn't surprise me if that was thrown out there by the writers of the show. This season looks good with the new "socialite" 8y

I was pretty impressed by this book. Carole Radziwill takes the reader through some of the darkest, most depressing moments of her life but in a way that doesn't get the reader down (does that sound as selfish as it felt to write it?). Brutal honesty and humility; loved the vulnerability and candor.

Approachable, journalistic, and yes, heavy-hearted, Radziwill brings you right into the fold of her experiences traveling the world & working her way through the ABC network ranks; of slowly losing her husband to cancer; and suddenly losing their friends in a plane crash just weeks before his death.
